A quick video of how to do a self rescue. Pretty basic and something we should all know how to do. Make sure to practice once a year so when time comes to use it it's a snap. Enjoy and be safe out there kids.

thanks Bryce
I just started introducing SOTing to my special lady friend and this is a great visual aid.
I still plan on waiting for warmer weather before the aquatic bootcamp begins, but this is a great start.

Assuming your using the GoPro cam, Is it mounted or mountable with a 1/4" threaded holder?
working on a new V-mount and may pick up a GoPro in the near future
thanks again

You make it look easy.  Thanks.  (Wish I had a special lady friend I could show it to.  But my wife might like to watch it.  I'll check.)
...as soon as the Advil kicks in...

I had the same question, but from the credits after the clip and the fact that it looks like around 720p is it safe to say it was a GoPro?
That is one sick little toy!  8)
I'm going to have to start saving up for one of those!

FFTW bought my old Cobra Navigator XF.  It has a fairly high center of gravity and is a "dry ride" but as such can be a bit tricky to get back into during a self rescue.   With a little practice and even that isn't too bad.

Thanks you guys. Glad it can be helpful.

Assuming your using the GoPro cam, Is it mounted or mountable with a 1/4" threaded holder?
It is a GoPro cam and has a mounting system of it's own. Kind of like a hinge. Cool thing is that I use a suction cup mount that will work on any smooth surface. If you have a smooth kayak, like I know you do, it's awesome!

Now we want one in the surf!!!!   ;D
Yeah that one has been on the list. Sure I'll get to it sometime this summer.

I'm in the process of making a full review on this camera and it's safe to say I'm quite impressed. The image quality is very impressive.

Primarily, I'm just yanking his chain  >:D  ;D

In fact, I'm pretty sure Zee could have done that vid with the Nav XF just fine as he has a bit more reach and is more athletic than I am. He makes it look easy because it is once you have practiced it 3 or 4 times (literally)

On the other hand, it's really important to note that you try DO some deep water reboarding practice in your own boat(s). I love to puff up my chest and say I can dump my boat and be back on without getting my hat wet. And I could back that up too until one day on the Tualatin that reminded me that our boats come in slightly different flavors.
